Transformational leadership can be summed up in these words from French writer, poet, and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupery:
If you want to build a ship,
don’t drum up the people
to gather wood, divide the
work, and give orders.
Instead, teach them to yearn
for the vast and endless sea.
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
